'My bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have for both are infinite'
When Romeo meets Juliet, the worlds around them melts away. But then reality kicks in; their families are enemies, and they will never be allowed to stay together.
With the world against them, they hatch a plan to escape the lives they were born into. But fate has other ideas.
This 90-minute version of Romeo and Juliet, edited by Robin Belfield and directed by Philip J Morris made Shakespeare's star cross'd lovers relevant for a new generation of theatregoers.
First Encounters: Romeo and Juliet toured from January to April 2024.
